I don't lack social contact or experience- I go to a 4 year university, where I'm politically involved. I'm currently experiencing a bout of loneliness and depression, which happens to some people in our lifetime. I'm not normalizing skin creams in any way, I"m trying to say that I myself used it.

But I also don't understand why he can't accept his skin color or our physical "flaws"- even if it's those flaws that make us beautiful? Surely, I can put a shit ton of skin lightening cream and simply call it a day, but I chose not to. He's not mediocre. Also, I simply tagged you to make a point- he should be eloquent in both body language and speech if he wants to prove. I never meant to attack you or OP, and I'm sorry if I did.

Honestly, I had the experience of hating my skin tone, I just wanted to put it out there. I'm not isolated, I'm isolated at the moment because I'm home for the summer during college. I have an internship, I go to class, I'm in clubs, and I travel. We all experience loneliness at some point in our lives, but it doesn't mean that I don't have a voice.
